Detailed explanation-1: -Dante imagined Hell like an inverted cone, with its circles gradually becoming smaller nearer to Earth’s core. Each circle was dedicated to a sin and the sin’s related punishment.
Detailed explanation-2: -And, setting the stage for the Renaissance and its rebirth of Classical learning, Dante’s idea of Hell draws from Aristotle’s view that reason is the most important thing in life – which would be the later idea in Protestantism that an individual’s reason is their path to salvation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Leaving Hell This scares Dante who believes they will go back to Hell. Virgil reassures Dante then sets him down on a ledge. Dante looks up and sees legs then looks down and sees Lucifer’s torso. Dante is confused about how things got flipped upside down.
Detailed explanation-4: -There will be fire in Dante’s Hell (though not everywhere); and Hell, for Dante, is a pit sealed within the bowels of the earth.
